On the pages Replika devotes to cyberspatial existence, this time we transmit Robert Adriann’s “Infobahn Blues”, which explains the difference between the meanings of ‘cyberspace’ and ‘infobahn’, and points to the role these metaphors play in the social understanding of the phenomenon they describe. Lance Strate’s article enters cybertime, the still little discussed notion of time in the world of computer networks, and illuminates its deviations from ‘real time’.
